Ayurveda is a science originated from Indian subcontinents, thousands of years back. though the age of Ayurveda is being told as,5000 years, we believe that Ayurveda is originated from the day a life started on this planet. Though it is calculated with the Vedic period, we should not forget that the Vedic scripts are written in a time but preached and practiced even before that. Though the word Ayurveda seems to be special, it is present in everybody’s life, but we are not aware of that. Bringing the awareness is only difference.
The textual references says that,
“BRAHMA SMRUTYAYUSHO VEDAM” A.H/1
-lord Brahma remembered Ayurveda
The word ‘Ayurveda’ refers to ‘knowledge of life’. This is a pure science devoid of caste, creed or color. The essence once tasted will not be forgotten. That is its beauty.
This is the science which explains every shades and sides of life; the science shows how to live happily, physically, mentally and spiritually, the only science which explain about prevention (prevention is better than cure) rather than cure. Ayurveda believes and preaches unity in diversity rather than dominance of single. For example; a group of people who takes a particular food, the same food will make different effects on each.
Ayurveda, yoga siddha etc. Indian system of medicines is not different but same with its internal core. It is like different finger from same hand. Nothing is wrong, but everything is right in its own ways.
